This photograph was made in Assisi, Italy during the 2007 Mille Miglia, a one thousand mile car race through Italy! The streets in the medieval hilltowns of the Umbrian region of Italy are so narrow that it is often times difficult for a car to drive on the same road people are walking on. As can be seen in this photograph, I was very, very close to the Porsche that was about to zip past me. So, with my back up against the building wall and a wide angle lens strapped to the camera, I was able to show a bit more room than there really was. Add a little bit of zoom blur (rotating the zoom setting on the lens while the shutter is open), and voila! – you have yourself a respectable racecar action photo! Enjoy!
